I was 14 years old. We got there when the gates opened & parties as we watched a storm roll in. I even took a picture of the dark clouds coming. It was hot so we didn't mind the fact that it might rain, never thinking it would cancel the show! We were on the floor and pretty close to the stage. Show started and it started raining. By the 3rd song, it was raining so hard it was hard to see! Band went off stage. Some time passed, and then all Hell broke loose. Fighting every where, we could see people in the stands fighting from our view on the field. We were trying to stay together as a group but it was getting hard because of all the pushing and shoving. A big biker guy (a stranger to me) picked me up and said something on the lines of "get up on my shoulders little lady, where you will be safe!" He carried me on his shoulders as he fought through the crowd to the edge of the field. He put me down in a safe area and told me to get out of there as soon as I could because the fighting was getting really bad and the cops were pouring into the stadium. I ran all the way to get out of the stadium! Led Zeppelin was my favorite band and I was so sad the show stopped but I assumed they would reschedule and all would be fine, NOT. They cancelled and offered refunds on the ticket stub but I chose to keep mine. There was no way I was giving that up! It is quite a memory for my 1st show ever!

Huge Show!
Brownsville Station
Blackfoot
Cheep Trick
Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush
Ted Nugent
Aerosmith
You had to get a wristband when you entered because there was a small 'fair' also connected to the show - it was wild!!!!!
Notice: Florida is misspelled!

Bryan Adams was surprisingly good.
Sammy Hagar was smokin'.
Aerosmith had sound problems.
As you can see by my stubs, it rained for Journey which was OK by me, never liked them anyway.
It's funny, they were the headliner but I only wanted to see the other bands.

Not a good show - Not a good night! Who cared about seeing Autograph? I sure didn't! Then Vince came out & said, "It's great to be here in Tampa tonight!" Umm, Dude - your in St. Pete, not Tampa! Then my girlfriend got locked outside the back door of the building & couldn't get back in! Finally, on the way home, Lou Panzer almost killed us all by getting into a wreck (phantom driver - it really wasn't Lou's fault) on top of the Howard Franklin Bridge. Audrey & I want to hospital in Tampa. Ahh, Let The Good Times Roll:-)

I had never heard of Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown before this show. I don't know how old he was at the time of this show (he was old) but he put on a great opening show.
Eric played so well this night. I was really impressed.

All the pyro made this a very hot show and it was fantastic. Everyone in the crowd seemed to know all the words, even though it was in German! They had a gang-plank walk that took them to a 2nd small stage in the middle of the floor. Flake did the boat gimmick too.
